Missing its captain, Thiago Silva, and superstar Neymar Jr., Brazil went into today's semifinal vs. Germany shorthanded. But nobody could have predicted that Brazil would go down 5-0 in the first 30 minutes. It was truly horrific to watch.
This sad child witnessing devastation is every Brazilian soccer fan.
Five goals. In 30 minutes.
What...
Just...
Happened!

I never thought I'd say this: Brazilian fans are leaving, before halftime, of a World Cup semifinal in their home country. It's stunning.

German fans, however.
And then Germany scored again in the second half to make it 6-0, because of course they scored again.
Germany's Andre Schuerrle celebrates scoring his side's 6th goal.
Oy...
And then the Germans scored again. 7-0!
Brazil's manager, Luiz Scolari.
Wait a second now, Brazil scores!
COMEBACK! #BRA
Chris Geidner@chrisgeidnerAnd then it was over. Germany 7, Brazil 1. The worst loss for Brazil since it lost 6-0 to Uruguay in 1920.
